Back when Mark and I were starting our online radio station, I discovered a radio single from a group called Vocal Union. I couldn't believe how great this a cappella group was and how they seemed to sing Southern Gospel Music so very well! Recently, they sent me some more music for the station and that included their latest project which is outstanding!
"Just Like The Old Days" is the name of the project and the first song. It's an upbeat song that you will enjoy as it reminds us of "singing His Praises just like the old days!" The next song is no stranger to Southern Gospel fans. Vocal Union does a wonderful job on "Get Away Jordan." I'm not sure you have truly heard this song until you have heard an a cappella version of it. Christmas is next! At least a Christmas song is next. The guys do a great job on "Beautiful Star Of Bethlehem."
"In The Palm Of Your Hand" is a very strong song in the message reminding us of God's Faith and Grace. "There Have Been Healin'" has an almost spiritual feeling to it. It's a neat song in that it goes through many of the healing in the Bible. The CD jacket even references the scripture verse for each one! "Wake Up" is an outstanding, up tempo song that encourages the unsaved to "Wake Up" and accept God's Salvation. The song then goes on to encourage the Christian's to "Wake Up" and get out there to tell others about Christ! "Remind Me Dear Lord" is the next song and this great old song I had all but forgotten about. I loved hearing the Dottie Rambo song again and hearing the great message once again.
The Nelons sang a song years ago that I loved titled "Walk Right Out Of This Valley." Vocal Union tackles it on this project and it is awesome! Speaking of classic songs from yesterday, the next song on the project is "In My Robe Of White." Of course, this was a huge Gold City song years ago but you will enjoy the Vocal Union version as well. The final song on the project is "He Gave His Life" and I really like the message of this song.
Vocal Union is an assembly of some incredibly talented guys. I enjoy a cappella music when it is done well and these guys are some of the best I have ever heard. The song selection is very good and it is a nice mix of older songs and some songs that are a little less familiar. The production is high quality as are the vocal presentations. My favorite songs on the project are "Just Like The Old Days," "Get Away Jordan" and "Remind Me Dear Lord." The entire project is first class all the way as you get some great Southern Gospel Music, a cappella style! For more information visit www.vocalunion.com. |
